<p>@fianchetto I’m in the exact same boat… also only 19K but won’t get a penny from FAFSA… I had a lower SAT though but tons of national/international awards…and I spent summer there + got rec from faculty. how does anyone get full tuition…</p>
<p>perhaps those that don’t qualify for Fafsa(myself included) shouldn’t get any aid, and those who actually need it,receive it…I find it somewhat appalling that those who got 19k, and don’t qualify for FA,are complaining…</p>
<p>lol i wish i got something and i know i qualify for fafsa haha…</p>
<p>lol i think i got less aid cuz im applying for Drexel’s accelerated BS/MD program, so i’ll only be at Drexel for three years. they want to squeeze out as much money as possible during these years.</p>
<p>50k-19k= 41k a year. omg/***/%^&/i got full tuition at UPitt and im an out of state student…</p>
<p>***??!!</p>
<p>i mean 31k a year. man i suck at math</p>
<p>if you have a full ride at Pitt,main campus, what in the world are you doing with drexel?..The 2 schools really don’t compare…</p>
<p>As in UPitt is better than Drexel? or the other way around? sorry for my ignorance. im applying to these schools only because they have BS/MD programs.</p>
<p>UPitt is much better than Drexel. A good GPA from Pitt undergrad should get you into a top medical school. Why limit yourself to a BS/MD program at Drexel if you can excel at Pitt and attend an even better med school, or compete for scholarships (yes, they do exist at the med school level)?</p>
<p>Not even close…Pitt is much better then Drexel…That said,my opinion of Pitt only applies to Main campus, the sattelite locations are not very good…</p>
<p>yea i got accepted to UPitt’s main campus. UPitt also has a BS/MD program with its med school, which is #13 in the nation, while Drexel Med School is who knows what.</p>
<p>but hey, they’re both med schools.</p>
